Tarred  Felt. 

Tarred  Felt  is  used  for  slag  and  gravel  roofing,  sheathing  and  lining  under 
slate,  tin  and  shingles,  and  is  proof  against  vemiin,  moisture,  and  gases.  It  is 
highly  recommended  for  lining  poultry  houses,  and  can  be  white-washed  if 
desired.

WATERPROOF— AIR  TIGHT-EVERLASTING. 

We  would  call  attention  of  all  using 
building  papers  to  our  water-proof  paper, 
Quaker  City  Sheathing.  It  is  much 
•stronger  than  the  ordinary  sheathing 
papers,  besides  being  saturated  with  a 
strictly  water-proof  and  odorless  com- 
pound. Although  Quaker  City  Sheatli- 
ing  costs  slightly  more  tlian  ordinary 
building  papers,  it  is  certainly  in  tlie  long 
run,  by  far  the  most  economical  paper  to 
use.  It  will  last  as  long  as  the  building, 
adding  much  to  the  comfort  of  the  house 
and  save  many  times  its  cost  in  fuel.

Deadening  and  Carpet  Felt. 

( Samples  Nos.  9 and  28.) 


This  felt  is  soft  and  elastic,  manufactured  expressly  for  use  between  floors 
and  partitions  to  deaden  sound,  and  has  proven  very  effective  in  dwellings, 
hotels,  churches,  hospitals,  halls,  and  other  buildings  where  quiet  is  desired.  It 
is  also  largely  used  for  lining  under  carpets  for  the  prevention  of  dampness  and 
dust  rising  from  cellars,  and  as  a non-conductor  for  wrapping  hot  air  and  steam 
pipes.  When  used  for  the  latter  purpose,  it  is  important  that  the  pipes  should 
first  be  wrapped  with  one  or  two  thicknesses  of  our  No.  18  Asbestos  Fire-Proof

Ajax  Brand,  i,  2 and  3=Ply  Ready  Roofing. 

(Samples  Nos,  II,  12  and  13.) 


Durable,  Fire  and  Waterproof.  For  Factories,  Foundries,  Chemical  Works, 
Barns,  Houses,  Railroad  Buildings,  Ice  Houses,  Old  Shingle  Roofs, 
Water-tight  Floors,  and  Silos. 

We  offer  our  Ajax  Brand  Roofing  a,s  a cheap,  durable  and  reliable  roofing 
which  can  be  easily  applied  by  anyone.  Great  care  is  taken  in  its  manufacture, 
and  after  many  years  of  cxjicriencc  we  have  an  article  that  we  can  recommend. 

We  guarantee  every  roll  to  be  perfect  and  to  unroll  without  sticking.  If 
any  should  he  found  imperfect,  we  will  replace  them,  but  only  on  condition  that 
the  goo<ls  which  are  not  satisfactory  are  returned  to  us. 

This  roofing  is  adapted  to  steep  or  flat  roofs,  oiic-half  inch  fall  to  the  foot  is 
ample,  and  is  suitable  for  all  climates.  It  is  not  affected  by  acids,  gases,  or  con- 
densation, and  will  not  mildew  or  impart  taste  to  water.  It  is  not  liable  to 
blow  off  when  properly  fastened ; and  when  thoroughly  coated  and  sanded,  is 
practically  fire-proof.  Any  one  can  make  a good  roof  bj'  carefully  following  our 
directions.  A roof  of  this  material  is  easily  repaired  at  a trifling  expense,  by 
being  re-coated  in  every  two  or  three  years  with  plastic  roof  coating  ; if  this  is 
done,  it  will  last  for  at  least  ten  years.  Where  this  roofing  has  been  carefully 
applied  it  has  never  failed  to  give  satisfaction.

Roofing  Brushes. 

For  applying  Roof  Coating,  a whitewash  brush  will 
answer  the  purpose,  hut  where  the  building  is  large,  a regular 
roofing  brush  will  save  enough  time  to  pay  for  itself  and 
perform  the  work  better.  These  brushes  should  be  placed 
in  oil  after  being  used,  to  prevent  their  becoming  hard.

Water=Tight  Floors. 

Are  verv"  important  in  manufacturing  establishments,  breweries,  pork- 
packing houses,  stables,  etc.  We  have  them  in  use  at  our  own  mills,  and  can 
recommend  the  following  as  the  cheapest  and  best  way  to  make  a tight,  service- 
able floor. 


A reasonably  tight  floor  is  first  laid,  then  lay  2 or  3-Ply  Roofing  over  it, 
pa,sting  all  laps  and  joints  with  hot  roofing  pitch.  Turn  the  felt  up  at  the 
sides  of  the  room  and  fasten  securely  to  the  wall  with  pitch;  then  swab  hot  pitch 
ujxm  the  felt  freely  to  tlie  width  of  the  plank  to  be  laid,  lay  the  plank  in  this 
and  nail  it  securely  before  the  pitch  cools.  Continue  this  operation  until  all  the 
planks  are  laid.  Fill  all  cracks  between  the  planks  with  hot  pitch  ; then  nail  on 
the  wash-board  or  skirting.  By  following  these  directions,  a perfectly  tight, 
solid  floor  will  be  the  result.

DIRECTIONS  FOR  APPLYING  ROOFING. 

(Samples  Nos.  II,  12  and  13.) 

The  roof  boards  should  be  dry,  of  uniform  thickness,  and  laid  close  together, 
and  should  ruu  across  the  roof.  See  that  all  knot  holes  are  covered  with  pieces 
of  tin  or  roofing,  and  that  no  nails,  bits  of  wood  or  knots  project  above  tlie  sur- 
face, as  it  is  very  important  the  roofing  should  be  laid  on  a smooth  surface. 

In  appljdng  the  roofing,  commence  at  the  ea-ves  or  gutter  and  lay  the  first 
piece  parallel  with  the  edge,  letting  the  roofing  project  over  the  eaves  about  an 
inch  or  more.  The  projecting  felt  is  afterwards  turned  down  and  fastened  with 
an  eave  strip  of  wood  just  level  with  the  top  of  the  felt,  or,  if  desired,  the  felt 
can  be  turned  down  and  nailed  with  ^ inch  tin  caps  every  four  inches. 

Place  the  second  piece  upon  the  roof,  lap- 
ping the  lower  edge  two  inches  on  the  first  piece 
laid — all  laps  should  be  carefully  coated  with 
Plastic  Roof  Coating  to  make  the  joint  tight — 
then  nail  through  both  pieces  at  the  lap  once  in 
every  four  inches,  using  tin  caps  and  roofing 
nails,  and  avoid  driving  nails  into  cracks  between 
the  boards.  Follow  this  plan  until  the  roof  is 
completed. 

Cap  the  ridge  of  the  roof  with  a strip  of 
roofing  about  6 or  8 inches  wide — cut  the  strip 
lengthwise  for  such  purpose. 

Where  there  are  chimneys,  skylights,  etc. , special  care  must  be  exercised  to 
secure  water-tight  fastenings.  The  neatest  waj^  of  finishing  is  to  fit  the  roofing 

closely  around  them  and  fasten  with  a three- 
sided  cleat  (as  in  Fig.  2),  filling  all  the  joints 
with  Plastic  Roof  Coatiug,  Elastic  Cement,  or 
Roofing  Pitch. 

If  gutters  are  laid  witli  the  roofing,  use  a 
separate  strip  in  tlie  bend  (as  in  Fig.  i),  and 
cement  between  the  laps,  and  apply  an  extra 
coating. 

In  cold  weather  tliis  roofing  should  be  kept 
in  a warm  place  before  using,  and  taken  out 
only  as  required. 


Coating  the  Roof. 

After  the  roofing  is  laid  and  securely  fast- 
ened, commence  at  the  upper  part  of  the  roof, 
and  coat  the  entire  surface  with  Plastic  Roof 
Coating.  While  the  coating  is  being  applied, 
and  before  it  has  time  to  become  dry,  sprinkle  over  it  clean,  dry  building  sand, 
all  it  will  take.  Better  results  will  be  obtained  if  the  sand  is  heated.  The  object 
in  sanding  the  roof  is  to  present  as  hard  a surface  as  possible  to  the  storms,  and 
to  protect  tlie  building  against  fire  from  adjoining  buildings,  and  for  this  pur- 
pose alone  it  is  desirable  that  the  sanding  should  be  done  thoroughly. 

The  coating  should  be  applied  witli  a roofing  or  whitewash  brush,  and  should 
be  well  stirred  up  from  the  bottom  of  the  package  before  it  is  used.  In  cold 
weather  it  is  best  to  heat  the  coatiug  to  a temperature  of  about  one  hundred 
degrees,  so  that  it  will  work  easily.  Do  not  apply  the  coatiug  when  the  felt  is 
wet. 

Many  make  a mistake  by  endeavoring  to  cheapen  the  cost  of  the  roof  by 
not  coating  it  at  all,  or  by  using  some  inferior  material.  All  roofs,  of  what- 
ever kind,  must  have  a thorough  protective  surface  to  insure  their  lasting.

This  roofiug  can  be  successfully  laid  over  old  shingles.  For  this  purpose 
3-Ply  (No.  13)  should  be  used ; 2-Ply  would  be  too  light.  Before  covering  the 
shingles  sweep  tliem  off  clean,  and  nail  down  all  that  are  loose  or  badly  warped. 
When  the  shingles  at  the  edge  project,  saw  them  off  to  make  an  even  surface. 
Use  inch  nails  and  take  care  to  drive  them  where  they  will  hold  well.  Apply 
the  roofing  in  the  same  manner  as  has  already  been  described. 

HOW  TO  APPLY  BUILDING  PAPERS. 

Inside  Lining.-^The  Red  Manilla  Sheathing  (Samples  Nos.  6,  6X,  6XX  and 
8XX)  has  been  very  successfully  used  for  lining  buildings  of  all  kinds  in  place 
of  piaster,  both  on  rough  boards  (see  page  7)  and  on  studding  where  there 
are  no  boards  (see  page  4).  Other  building  papers  have  also  been  used  for 
this  purpose,  but  with  little  success,  owing  to  the  fact  of  the  papers  not 
being  of  sufficient  strength  to  stand  rough  use  such  as  rooms  usually  have. 
The  paper  should  be  first  applied  to  the  ceiling  and  then  to  the  walls.  Cut 
the  paper  into  strips  of  the  rccpiired  length,  allowing  enough  to  come  down 
on  the  side  wall,  say  about  two  inches;  dampen  tiie  paper  thoroughly  with 
water  (on  the  side  that  is  to  be  put  against  the  boards  or  studs),  then  apply  as 
wall  paper,  except  that  it  should  be  tacked  instead  of  pasted.  The  walls  sliould 
be  done  in  the  same  manner.  It  will  not  be  entirely  smooth  at  first,  but  will 
dry  out  perfectly  smooth  and  tight.  Small  tacks  are  mostly  used  for  tacking 
the  paper,  but  tin  caps  and  nails  have  been  frequently  used,  in  which  case  the 
tin  caps  can  be  painted  any  color  desired.  A room  finished  with  this  building 
paper  is  perfectly  air-tight,  if  the  paper  is  carefully  put  on , and  can  be  papered 
over  with  wall  paper  or  painted. 

How  to  find  the  number  of  square  feet  of  paper  required  to  line  a room. 

For  example,  say  the  room  is  15  feet  long,  14  feet  wide  and  9 feet  high.  Add  the 
length  and  the  width  togetlier  and  multiply  by  2,  thus  : 15  x 14  equals  29  feet ; 


lo 


JOS.  STELWAGON’S  SON,  PHILADELPHIA. 


multiply  this  by  2,  which  gives  58  feet — multiply  this  bj*  the  height  of  the  room 
9 feet,  result  522  square  feet  in  the  sides  of  the  room.  To  get  the  square  feet  in 
the  ceiling,  multiply  the  length  15  feet,  by  the  breadth  14  feet,  whieh  gives  210 
square  feet — add  this  to  522,  the  square  feet  in  the  sides,  result  732,  the  total 
number  of  square  feet  in  the  room.  Deduct  from  this  (732)  the  number  of  square 
feet  in  all  doors  and  windows,  adding  to  the  remainder  10  square  feet  to  each  100, 
for  laps,  etc. , result  will  be  the  number  of  square  feet  of  paper  required  to  line 
the  room. 

Lining  Silos. — Although  building  papers  are  largely  used  for  lining  silos, 
we  cannot  recommend  their  use.  We  have  found  that  i-Ply  (Sample  No.  ii) 
Roofing  has  given  the  best  satisfaction  and  results.  It  should  be  appled  in  the 
same  manner  as  under  weather  boards,  as  described  below.  For  roofing  silos, 
we  recommend  either  2 or  3-Ply  Roofing  (Samples  Nos.  12  and  13). 


Outside  Sheathing.— After  the  building  has  been  sheathed  with  boards,  tack 
a strip  of  the  building  paper  at  each  comer  of  the  building,  full  height,  from  top 
to  bottom,  then  nail  on  the  comer  pieces  ; tack  a strip  around  all  window  and 
door  openings  before  the  casings  are  put  in,  so  that  all  joints  will  be  air-tight ; 
then  put  a width  of  the  paper  lengthwise  of  the  building,  lapping  it  two  or 
more  inches,  tacking  sufficiently  to  hold  it  in  place  until  covered  with  the  clap 
boards.  Continue  this  method  until  the  building  is  completed.
